does it help swelling?

After wearing Tommie Copper knee sleeve for a week, the swelling went down and the pain became tolerable.

I wear this brace when I sleep sometimes. This brace is a compression brace and it works by reducing swelling in the joint. By reducing the swelling it reduces pain. It does also give support but I would not say thats it's main purpose. With that in mind it does not take much to reduce swelling and should not be tight. I found the longer I wore the brace the better my knees were and felt. If the brace was too tight I would not be comfortable wearing it for extended periods of time. I think a good way to judge the right pressure is.... You should not notice an obvious mark or difference in thickness of your leg above or below the brace where it ends. There should not be a bulge above or below... and even after removing there shouldnt be a noticeable mark. This brace has made a world of difference for me and actually returned my knees to a normal looking knee as the swelling in them from injuries and lymes disease. I am 45 and very athletic. I still cant run anymore but atleast I can move again and hope to run again someday. For now I cycle. Good luck! ps. I you are a guy you will probably go to tight. Men seem to believe if a little is good... Alot must be better. LOL NO NO NO!!!

It could help. I bought one for my wife who had a sore on her bottom and it helped take the pressure off the sensitive area. Since pain is pain anything that helps eliminate some pain may help a lot.

I believe it would help either. I purchased it for a hamstring strain and it really seemed to help.

I used it for a strained hamstring and it helped - you just have to get the size that will go up high enough. Good luck!

It can help. It will keep that area of coverage warm and stay in place. Keeping the muscle warm should aid in the aches department I find them beneficial.

no. MY wife uses them as compression socks for calf and ankle swelling. They work fine.

I bought it for my mom, it is not designed for that & come in one size. It is not good, but she decided not to have me send it back, good support, but not for big swollen ankles. I suggest a good old ace bandage. Or see a doctor.

Marguerite, since your situation involves several surgeries, I would consult with your doctor on this. It worked for my knee, but then my knee was just sore and my situation did not involve surgery. Make sure that if you use this cream it will not complicate any recovery for you. Take care.

It does reduce swelling under the eyes, but doesnt really help with sagging

If it is an inflammation then I think it should help to some extent because this is an anti - inflammatory ointment. If it doesn't, the manufacturer offers a money back guarantee. I hope it will help you if you decide to get it. Best Wishes!

I don't know the reason about why you need this arm compression for. But, my sister needed this product because she has arm lymphedema from cancer surgery. So, this arm compression promotes lymphatic flow by moving fluid in the proper direction as well as treatment of swelling of the arm. My sister use this product everyday, and it really helps her arm from swelling.

I'm not sure. I used it for inflammation like back and shoulder pain and it did a good job.

Sorry, but I don't know the answer. I used it when my ankle gets tender from an injury I had some 10 years ago. For my pourpose it works fine.
